Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 20, 2015

Is Pig going to be Rat’s sidekick, Sycophant Kid?

If big head were a super power, there are a number of cities around the world that are full of super heroes then.

So… his power is blending into the Thanksgiving Day Parade?

Rat Trump!

Rat, shouldn’t you be talking about your inflated ego instead?

Only one?

Goat, a Mr. Wayne and a Mr. Queen would like a word with you about your opinion on the qualifications for “superhero” status.

Rat, you need to get your own code name and idiom, Obama already has that one well covered.

I think that if the strip was totally blank, there still would be trolls making political comments, since it would match their minds.

Pompous Boy? —I’ve heard of him, but I didn’t want to believe.Harsh measures may be necessary….Bring me the inflated head of Pompous Boy! (Before anyone gets hysterical, that’s a movie reference, folks.)

All good super-heroes need a good super-villain. May I suggest that Pompous Boy’s villain should be Jef the Cyclist! That would be a battle royal of epic proportions!

Rat should of been Beer-Rat able to drink 12 beers in a single gulp ! :-)

Rat is perfect for this role

“Off with his head!” (In honour of the 150th anniversary of the writing of Alice in Wonderland.)

Where can I get a “Rathead wall decal”?

Pompousman! The lone survivor of the planet Ego. His powers can’t harm me. I just say the magic words, “Hmmm. You may be right.” and move on with my life.

Those who you think you know everything are annoying to those of us who do. Everyone is entitled to my opinion. Feel free to agree with it.

Must be a liberal. They always know what’s good for everyone else.

Rat as Dizzy Gillespie (not that Dizzy Gillespie is egotistical, but because he can physically make his head look larger).

What an airhead.

I didn’t know Rat could do that….. I like the use of the figure of speech having a big head

As an infant, I must have been a superhero. I am told my Dad called me “that big headed b———d”. I wonder what else he could have meant.

inflating your head so that anyone with a pin can come along and pop it like a balloon is not a superpower. it is the opposite of a superpower

Rat’s only superpower is being super annoying.

Batman doesn’t have super powers!

Reminds me of a segment Jon Stewart used to do—The Head of Brian Williams. Guess maybe it is a super power.

There could be advantages…like…having your date notice you in a crowd?

Typical government employee.

Now I know what will be haunting my nightmares.

big brain

is that actually Rat or a rat named “Poumpus Boy”
